THE CHALLENGE

We understand that introducing technology into a conservative marketplace is not easy. Without a successful “in the field” demonstration to show the effectiveness of an innovation, most engineers will choose an older proven method. The result is that the water industry tends to rely upon technology that is proven, but represents decades old systems that were introduced when water was plentiful and energy was cheap - which is no longer the case. H2Opportunities was established to support firms that are addressing the challenges of aging infrastructure, operating costs, water quality, legacy pollutants, testing, competing uses and insufficient supply with innovations and improvement that minimize capital costs and the costs of operation and maintenance.

THE FUTURE

H2Opportunities intends to change the way our nation deals with the challenges of water resource management. The change begins with improving the technical tools available to public and private water professionals.H2Opps will work with technology developers to share the risks and rewards associated with introducing new products. We differ from typical accelerators in that we are able to address the largest challenges facing water technology entrepreneurs:
